1 How to SUCCEED in global aerospace The MAA annual Conference 26 MARCH 2015

2 THE MAA CONFERENCE 2015 Welcome to the MAA Annual Conference We are delighted to be holding the Midlands Aerospace Alliance conference in Wolverhampton this year. Our previous two annual conferences were held in the aerospace city of Derby, supported by Derby City Council and Rolls-Royce. Both events were great successes. The tremendous feedback we received from participants confirmed the value they place on listening to expert industry leaders and reflecting on what their thoughts imply for each company and organisation present. This year the conference takes place at the heart of another of our region s worldleading local aerospace clusters. We are fortunate that another superb group of our industry s leaders and thinkers has agreed to share their thoughts, predictions and advice with us. And we are grateful indeed for the sponsorship of our friends at Moog, UTC Aerospace Systems and Wolverhampton City Council. Everyone should leave an MAA conference inspired and armed with fresh ideas and I am sure this year will be no exception. As the aerospace industry continues its relentless growth and globalisation, each established aerospace region, local cluster and incumbent supplier faces challenges that seem to evolve year on year. Where does the real competition come from is it emerging market China, or is it the rapidly growing aerospace industry of Germany, for instance? How should Midlands suppliers react to what seem to be accelerating demands from existing customers for apparently contradictory things more investment, better performance and lower prices simultaneously? And how can we work better collectively locally and across the Midlands to meet the changing needs of both UK and international aerospace customers? Let s continue to debate these issues together. I bid you a warm welcome to the 2015 Midlands Aerospace Alliance conference, whether you are coming back again or it s your first time. The MAA board and team are constantly striving to offer the best possible support we can to the industry in our region. Do let us know if the conference meets your expectations and don t shy from telling us how we can do better.

8 THE MAA CONFERENCE 2015 OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Business opportunities for UK suppliers in international markets Clive Lewis Clive Lewis is Managing Partner, Achieving the Difference LLP. His career includes the development and implementation of a best-practice marketing strategy process across a $1bn revenue business with five major product groups; with strategic plans developed for doubledigit growth and the integration of a $30m German acquisition into a $1bn organisation over a sixmonth period. He also led the forecasting team for the same organisation. Clive holds a Distinction grade MA in Marketing from a top university, is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing and Chartered Marketer, a qualified Six Sigma practitioner and facilitator. He is trained as a Fitness Review Assessor to European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) and British Quality Foundation standards. Where do the aerospace primes and Tier 1s think the real business opportunities of the future lie? How can UK aerospace suppliers get hold of this vital knowledge to make sure their own business plans are based on the most accurate information? Long-term MAA collaborator Clive Lewis will present highlights from a unique dataset he has created, working with ADS and UKTI. Data on future aircraft build comes directly from a wide range of major aerospace companies, based on their own best forecasts and going beyond the published forecasts by Airbus and Boeing. In 2015, the dataset includes enhancements to information on aircraft development timescales, announced Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers and opportunities for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) in part thanks to data contributed by ICF.

10 THE MAA CONFERENCE 2015 OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKERS What UK suppliers need to do to succeed in the global market Neil McManus Neil McManus joined GKN Aerospace in 2013 as Executive Vice-President, Business Development and Strategy, Europe and Special Products, joining the Executive Committee in January 2014 as Chief Executive GKN Aerospace Europe & Special Products. In January 2015, he assumed his current role as Senior Vice-President Asia. Prior to joining GKN Aerospace, he was Vice-President and Managing Director of Spirit AeroSystems (Europe) for six years and previously held senior roles within BAE Systems. Neil holds a BSc in Design and Manufacture from Loughborough University. Many UK aerospace suppliers need to make big changes to their businesses to stay ahead in global markets: better readiness to export, investment in new technology, rate of improvement to productivity as well as new skills. How can we work together to ensure that smaller suppliers, especially, do what is necessary? Neil McManus will share what he has learned from his widespread experience at BAE Systems, Spirit AeroSystems and GKN Aerospace, and his work on developing UK policy as chairman of the Supply Chain Working Group of the UK s Aerospace Growth Partnership which governs the UK s industrial strategy for aerospace.

11 How can Airbus help aerospace companies at all supply chain tiers stay competitive? Andy Moran Andy Moran, Head of Supplier Development, Airbus UK, was born in Lancashire and moved with his family to France in At 17, he passed the French Baccalaureate before attending Loughborough University where he was awarded an Honours Degree in Manufacturing Engineering and Management. He then returned to France to run a small aerospace manufacturing business. This demanding experience opened the doors to Andy s return to the UK, first in the automotive industry then as production manager for an aerospace supplier in the Midlands where he gained experience working in project management and high-end manufacturing roles. Following two years back in France as Manufacturing Engineering Manager for an international automotive supplier, in 2010 Andy decided to follow in his father s and brother s footsteps and returned to the aerospace industry, joining Airbus as a Supplier Development Manager. Four years later, having obtained his APICS CPIM (American Production and Inventory Control Society Certified in Production and Inventory Management programme) and with the reorganisation of Airbus Procurement, he was given the responsibility of consolidating and managing Airbus s UK Supplier Development Team. In addition he became world-wide focal point for Airbus s Equipment and Systems Supply Chain Development Activities. From the Airbus perspective, the coming ramp-up of production rates in the aircraft industry requires a ramp-up of the complete supply chain. It is not enough to concentrate only on the Tier 1 suppliers; the role of the Tier 2 and 3 suppliers (mainly SMEs) has to be considered. The SMEs must be prepared for the challenges of the coming production ramp-up and demanding requirements regarding delivery reliability, quality and costs. Andy Moran heads a new supplier development team at Airbus charged with helping UK aerospace suppliers at all tiers stay competitive. He will set out his thinking on why and how Airbus plans to work with partners to help suppliers at all tiers of the UK aerospace industry ensure they are ready to supply the global markets of the future.
